| Young Investigator Grants | Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer | Research | 12/15/2017 |
12/15/2017 |
These grants are designed to fill the critical need for startup funds for less experienced researchers to pursue promising research ideas. These grants encourage and cultivate the best and brightest researchers of the future and lead to long term commitments to research projects.The Young Investigator Grants are designed to support scientists during their fellowship training or early in their research careers. Demonstration of outstanding mentorship and demonstration of a career plan that shows commitment to pediatric cancer investigation are critical components of a successful application.Young Investigator Grants are now 3 year grants! The award amount is $150,000. (A maximum of $50,000 per year for three years may be requested). |
| 2022 Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) Reach Grant | Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer | 03/18/2022 |
03/28/2022 |
UACC may submit one application. Selection of the applicant is managed by the UACC. The purpose of the Reach Grant is to advance ALSF’s mission to find cures and better treatments for childhood cancers by providing support to move hypothesis-driven research into the clinic. Significant barriers exist that impede the translation of innovative and important ideas to the clinic. The Reach Grant seeks to remove one of these barriers by providing support for important preclinical projects that are necessary to move a study from the pre-clinical arena into a clinical trial. Thus, the goal of this award is to support translational studies that will result in a phase 1 and/or 2 clinical trial, two to three years from the project start date. |

The Program provides financial support to 3 junior faculty researchers for a 2-year period. Each award is funded up to $130,000, to be paid in annual installments of up to $65,000 per year for 2 years. Funding for the second year is contingent upon submission of a progress report and approval by the Scientific Review Committee Chair. Eligibility requirements. |

| Whitehall Foundation Grants-in-Aid | Whitehall Foundation | Research | 01/15/2018 |
01/15/2018; 04/15/2018; 10/1/2018 (LOI) |
The Grants-in-Aid program is designed for researchers at the assistant professor level who experience difficulty in competing for research funds because they have not yet become firmly established. Grants-in-Aid are awarded for a one-year period and do not exceed $30,000. Multiple LOI deadlines per year. |
| NARSAD Young Investigator Grant | Brain & Behavior Research Foundation | Research | 02/28/2018 |
02/28/2018 (anticipated) |
The NARSAD Young Investigator Grant provides support for the most promising young scientists conducting neurobiological research. Two-year awards up to $70,000, or $35,000 per year are provided to enable promising investigators to either extend research fellowship training or begin careers as independent research faculty. Basic and/or clinical investigators are supported, but research must be relevant to serious brain and behavior disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders or child and adolescent mental illnesses. |
| CTF Young Investigator Award (YIA) | Children's Tumor Foundation | 01/09/2018 |
01/09/2018 (anticipated) |
CTF’s longest running program, the YIA provides two-year funding, commensurate with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to young scientists early in their careers, bringing them into the NF field and helping to establish them as independent investigators. The YIA program has been a 'seeding mechanism' for researchers and their mentors, who could showcase their Foundation-funded research to secure larger grants from the NIH and the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program - Neurofibromatosis Research Program (CDMRP-NFRP). The 2017 YIA competition has passed (January 2017). |

| National Kidney Foundation, Young Investigator Program | National Kidney Foundation | Research | 02/01/2018 |
02/08/2018 |
The National Kidney Foundation will award three, one-year, $35,000 awards in support of junior faculty. Promising young scientists are encouraged to submit proposals for investigating clinical research questions in nephrology, or closely related fields. Projects must be patient-oriented. The responsiveness of each application to the research agenda of the NKF will be one of the elements used in the assessment of proposals. |
